Five of those charged were arrested Wednesday morning by Illinois Department of Revenue special agents, with the assistance of Bridgeview and Palos Hills police, according to prosecutors.

Kanan and Dipakkumar Patel were ordered held on $25,000 bonds, according to the Cook County sheriff’s office. Bond for Cherag Patel, Nishant Patel, Rajanikant Patel and Vishal Patel was set at $50,000. They are all expected to appear in court again Oct. 8.

Court information was not immediately available for Hammad, Jiggarkumar Patel and Mukesh Patel.

The charges are the result of a two-year criminal tax investigation into untaxed liquor brought in from out of state.

“This should send a message that doing business in Illinois means following the state’s laws without exception,” Attorney General Lisa Madigan in the statement.
